The most skillful fighter does not necessarily win the fight. Although knowledge of technique certainly helps in a confrontation, it does not necessarily ensure victory. So what determines victory in a street confrontation? In many cases it is the person with the strongest "heart" that ends up victorious. Just look at how many professional fighters have "lost the heart to fight" and are defeated. "X-Factor" is the term we use to describe the emotional content, intensity, "heart" and "will" in a student's technique.
Kage No Michi X-Factor Training is dedicated to cultivating the X-Factor in our students who wish to even further prepare themselves for self defense in the real world. The training methods used to cultivate X-Factor in the Kage No Michi Ninjutsu student are unique in themselves. These methods include intense focus drills and full contact, all-range combat. Students are pushed both mentally and physically in an attempt to drive them to their breaking point. It is then up to the student to choose to persevere or to give up. Students are also trained to put emotional content behind every move and every strike they make.
"I thoroughly believe that the X-Factor can be the determining factor when it comes to one's ability to survive a street confrontation. Practical techniques coupled with the X-Factor most thoroughly prepares a student for survival when their life is on the line." -Soke Tafan Hong Free Week Trial Everyone is entitled to a no-obligation, Free Week Trial!
